Diesel stolen from Muxton building site
Diesel worth around £800 has been stolen from a building site in Muxton. The theft occurred at a building site on Regent Crescent sometime between midday on Friday and 7am today.
Police say thieves entered the site by taking one of the gates off its hinges. They then approached a tank containing diesel and siphoned around 900 litres out into containers before making their escape.
The thieves also tried to use a mini-digger in the yard as a window was smashed on the vehicle. However, it appears the thieves were unable to move it.
The total value of the stolen diesel is thought to be around £800 while more than £300 of damage was also caused to the mini-digger during this break-in.
